Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 10' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bryan Oviedo suffering a number of foals already.

  • 20' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
